At the Door

lyricist: Alfred Taylor, 1869
Composer: John Gould

My Sav­ior stands wait­ing

And knocks at the door;

Has knocked

and is knock­ing again;

I hear His kind voice

I’ll re­ject Him no more

Nor let Him stand plead­ing in vain.

In in­fi­nite mer­cy

He came from above

To ran­som

to cleanse me from sin

I’ll yield to the voice

Of His mer­ci­ful love

And let my dear Sav­ior come in.

Savior

come in

cleanse me from sin;

Jesus

my Sav­ior

come in

come in!

Enter the door

wait­ing no more

Savior

dear Sav­ior

come in.

O Sav­ior

my ran­som

Redeemer and friend

The Life

and the Truth

and the Way

On Thy pre­cious mer­it

Alone I de­pend;

Dwell in me and keep me

I pray.

Thy good­ness hath op­ened

The door of my heart—

’Tis open in wel­come to Thee;

Come in

bless­èd Sav­ior

And nev­er de­part

Come in

with Thy mer­cy

to me.
